You may have heard the term OEM thrown around from time to time. If you don’t know what it means, you might be confused because there are several people that use the term for various things.
For starters, OES stands for Original Equipment Supplier. OEM is pretty much the same. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer.
When a car is built, the auto manufacturers don’t make the parts themselves, they order the parts through specific manufacturers, such as Brembo Brakes. Brembo would be the OEM/OES for these specific brakes. The parts are shipped to them and are then added to the vehicles.
When parts need to be replaced for your vehicle, you can either go to the dealership to get the part or get them from an aftermarket company. If you buy a part from an aftermarket company and the packaging is different than when you saw it at the dealer, there may be a licensing issue between the company and the dealership. No need to worry, because the part is the same. There are times that you can even get the part at a huge discount!
You can find generic versions of the part, but you never know if the product is quality or not. If you do a little bit of research on the part and the generic company that puts the part out, you may find some useful information to make a decision whether you should spend your money on the generic or buy the original.
